Ken picked Cust out of the three. Interesting.

Is my TV farked or does KICU do something bizarre with their transmissions? Seems like every game, the view from CF has very poor color saturation - almost fuzzy-looking. I really notice this when the A's and Gnats are playing, the A's on KICU and the Gnats on FSNBA - the FSN picture is much clearer.

Seriously

I love to see them smiling like that at the end of a game.

Who wanted the lolbuck?

hmm

now I can't decide between "robbin' ur hitz" "endin' ur ralliez" or "stoppin' ur ralliez" maybe I'll do the hits one because it will work for more games than the rally ones.

Why is Kotsay in the line-up?

Where is the meritocracy?  What the F?  He is the worst offensive OF on the team, by far.  He is still dining off of his pre-2006 defense too - he's just not that valuable in the field right now to justify the start.  He sucks and should be sitting.  Stew Buck Swish Cust and Piazza need to be FULL TIME.  Period, end of sentence. The other pieces can fall where they may, but this can't change.  That means Dan Johnson sits too until Piazza can spell Don Ho junior behind the plate.  

Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon posing a poet. Come on - Give me the Guess Who! They had the courage to be drunken buffoons, which MAKES them poetic!

Am I a bad person?

For seeing Crosby go down and immediately thinking "I hope he is not hurt...bady...but a little would not be the worst thing..."
